Church Picnic.

Our church holds a yearly “All Church Family Picnic” around the time of the Fourth of July. I helped a little in some of the planning, so it was even more fun to watch people enjoy it this year. We estimate almost 500 people attended, and it was a seriously good time!

Brace yourself for tons of photos!

So much food…

Wheelbarrows lined up and ready for the infamous wheelbarrow race…

Amazing food & fellowship…

Sweet little boy giggles. I think the girls missed the joke…

My girl loves playing with a ball. One of my volleyball friends saw the middle photo below and commented “solo block!”…

Water balloon toss…

And the previously mentioned wheelbarrow race…

I always capture the funniest expressions when I take pictures of this race! {Check out last year’s here.} This is our Youth Pastor & his wife…the winners!

And this is our head Pastor…

There’s also a grudge match of tug-o-war between the Elders & Deacons…

Snow cones…

And Eugene led a homerun derby too…

The little one had an absolute blast running around everywhere, waving at everyone, and watching all the crazy activities…

I thought this was a neat pic of the little one in light of Independence Day…

And the picnic concludes with an incredible fireworks show. I ended up taking the little one home, putting her to bed, then heading back {while Eugene’s brother & fiancé stayed at our house}, so I was too rushed to grab my good camera for the fireworks, but my friend posted this pic on her instagram…

So beautiful - the fireworks, the friends, the fellowship. It’s all so beautiful.
